PURASIL improves rolling resistance and wet traction in tires
Our range of silicas offer high dispersibility and high surface area resulting in an excellent reinforcement potential.
Overview
The strong increase in reinforcement linked with the improvement of the abrasion resistance was the most important aspect for the introduction of carbon black in tire tread formulations. The partial substitute of the Carbon Black by Silica / Silane system in tread compound mixtures, in combination with a specific polymer blend, provides significant improvements in rolling resistance and wet traction. Hence, in comparison to Carbon Black filled tread compounds at constant abrasion resistance level, a reduced fuel consumption and improved driving safety can be achieved.
Areas of Use
The high purity silica offered by PCL is used as reinforcing fillers for the rubber industry from tires to shoes soles. We offer multiple particle sizes to cater to our customers needs.
